A Teenagers Lament - A Story Of Teenage Depression
Darkness Finally Engulfs me..
Fully Awake, A Lone Creature Of The Night,
My Days Overwhelmed By The Sleep
I Crave, But Never Achieve.
Is My Bedroom A Sanctuary Or Prison?
How Come I'm Different?
Why Am I Different?
Is This Really Me?
Didn't I Always Used To be Happy?
What's Happened To My Life?
I Didn't Ask To Be Depressed, Why Me?
I Only Wanted To Be A Normal Teenager!
I Used To Sing, Now I Only Cry
I Loved To Dance, Just Too Much Effort!
Where Are My Friends, My True Friends
Not Those Who Blank & Avoid Me
Mum Just Shakes Her Head & Sighs
Then Retorts " She'll Grow Out Of It"
I Used To Be A Daddy's Girl....
Now He's Scared Of My Outbursts
Ok So I Don't Shower Every Day
It's Just Too Much Effort These Days
My Nails Once My Pride & Joy
Are Now Broken, Just Like My Heart!
I Count The Cuts on My Arms
Two More Than Yesterday
Must Be Self Cutting In my Sleep?
Must Keep Then Covered In Front of Mum
Who Cares? I used To!
Who cares Now? Nobody Does!
It's Just Me & My Depression!
Somebody, Anybody, I Just Need To Talk!!
